Large lump under left armpit diagnosed as melanoma, quite literally out of the blue. Several “oh they are nothing” moles removed from back by burning. Found out a couple of hours ago, a bit shocked. Reaching out…
I'm sorry you have had this diagnosis. When you say 'removed by burning' what do you mean? Moles should only ever be removed by surgical excision. Was any tissue sent for biopsy so they could 100% confirm they were benign? If so, some patients can have secondary melanoma and the primary is never known as some moles can regress & disappear.
